Wheel with magnetic braking device; aircraft landing gear and aircraft provided with such a wheel

Abstract

The invention relates to a wheel comprising an eddy current magnetic braking device, the device comprising at least one stator and at least one rotor, and magnets secured to one of these in order to produce a magnetic flux therebetween that is capable of inducing eddy currents in the other when the wheel rotates. According to the invention, the rotor is rotatably connected to the wheel via a transmission mechanism of the wheel. The invention also relates to a landing gear and an aircraft comprising such a wheel.
